WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform’s (ILR) “Faces
of Lawsuit Abuse” campaign has won four separate 2014 Internet
Advertising Competition (IAC) Awards. The annual awards, now in their
15th year, are produced by the Web Marketing Association.

“A major goal of the Faces of Lawsuit Abuse campaign is to engage
citizens across America utilizing social media, online video and digital
advertising,” said Lisa A. Rickard, president of ILR. “These awards
recognize the groundbreaking success of these efforts.”

The Faces of Lawsuit Abuse Facebook campaign, which currently engages
more than 240,000 citizens, garnered IAC awards for Best Legal Social
Media Campaign; Best Non-Profit Social Media Campaign; and Best
Political Social Media Campaign.

In addition, the “Most Ridiculous Lawsuits of 2013” campaign — which
utilized social media, online video, and a national online, pre-roll
advertising campaign — earned the IAC award for Best Advocacy Integrated
Ad Campaign.

The IAC awards are produced by the Web Marketing Association to honor
excellence in online advertising, recognize the individuals and
organizations responsible, and showcase the best in award-winning
Internet advertising. Past winners have included global brands, such as
the Wall Street Journal, Revlon, and Samsung.

"These awards would not be possible without the hundreds of thousands of
readers, viewers, and social media fans, friends, and followers who make
the Faces of Lawsuit Abuse campaign so successful,” Rickard added. “It
is these citizens who help spread the word about the real-life impact of
lawsuit abuse in America.”

ILR seeks to promote civil justice reform through legislative,
political, judicial, and educational activities at the national, state,
and local levels.
